All throughout my life I've broken every set of headphones I've ever owned. I really dont know what the deal is. They always seem to lose connection on the right side. Does this happen to anyone else? Anyway, I kind of borrowed some headphones from my sister and now Ive found that I've broken those too. .. Anyone know how to fix it? Thanks to all who answer, I rate. (link)
That has happened to me too. I have fried four sets and the same thing has happened. They all shorted out on one side or both. What you need to do is get a soldering iron, there might be one lying around your house and get a small knife or box cutter. This may do more damage, but if theyre gone, theyre gone. Take the headphones apart and then disconnect the wire from the broken side. now take some of the insulation off of the wire (about a half-inch) so that you can see the wire on the inside, but don't cut the metal wire on the inside. Take your hot soldering iron and remove all of the original solder. Now, take the metal wire that you stripped and hold it on the spot it was originally. Now solder it on. If this doesn't work then the wire is shorted-out in another location; possibly further down the wire. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't.
